Dear Librarian, My father fostered my love of books. He always said that growing up in India, books were luxuries, and he wanted to indulge me to my heart's content-his definition of "living the dream." In American public schools, we spent an hour on India, learning nothing of relevance to me. In writing THE HINDI-BINDI CLUB: A Novel with Recipes- intertwining stories of six Indian-American mothers and daughters-I aspired to fill a void in the cannon of American literature: The Great Indian-American Novel. "A beautiful novel about family, the strength of women, and the power of love."-Luanne Rice, author of Sandcastles "A voice as fresh as a morning wind... Pradhan throws open the doors to her world... blows away dusty stereotypes... A delicious tale..."-Barbara Samuel, author of Madame Mirabou's School of Love Click here to enter a sweepstakes for free copies from Bantam Dell.
